Zoology: Panna mount beast

Panna mount beast

Natural Range:
Moon of Panna: mud oceans.
Niche:
grazing herbivore / omnivore?

Luke Skywalker first met Boba Fett on a red mud-covered moon in the Panna system, as depicted in STAR WARS Holiday Special. Fett fought off a hideous monster which sought to devour Skywalker's crashed Y-Wing starfighter. In this adventure Fett rode a docile long-necked mount beast of immense proportions. The creature seems well-adapted to life on the red mud-covered moon, being able to swim across the gelatinous surface at speeds comparable to those of a three-man Imperial armoured landspeeder.

Although tame and friendly, the beast had a voracious appetite, which Fett considered to be a trait of the species in general. Like the more ferocious and wild monster which Fett scared away, the mount beast was attracted to the taste of the inert Y-Wing, but seemed quite satisfied to consume Skywalker's entire ration pack with one slurp of its dexterous tongue.

The beast has such a thick hide that a saddle can be painlessly bolted onto it.
